2D ANSYS analysis at GSI about the influence of cooling hole on helium flow and heat transfer (07.2004)
Type A _ cooling hole of nominal width 630 micrometers
Type B _ cooling hole of nominal width 400 micrometers
Thickness of the four layers Kapton : 88 micrometers
Thickness of the helium space underneath the four layers Kapton : 31 micrometers
Thickness of the four layers Kapton : 102 micrometers
Thickness of the helium space underneath the four layers Kapton : 19 micrometers
Depth of the helium groove in the superconductor : 100 micrometers
The measurement shows the depth of the helium space underneath the Kapton layers is about 20 ~ 30 micon. For the cured cable it may be even smaller.
Observation and measurements for the cooling holes on cable insulation with microscope at GSI (13.05.2004)
purposes:• to check the temperature margin of the magnet design at IHEP, Moscow• optimization the interlayer cooling channel dimensions to ensure enough temperature margin for the magnet operation
Note: The cross section of the 2D model has ellipse shape because the coil is cut at 45 degree direction with respect to the magnet axis.

• Highest temperature occurs in the coil blocks of outer layer with many turns (poor cooling conditions)
• High temperature occurs also at the turns of outer layer close to the pole (high field region);
• SS304 wedges help cooling the neighboring turns
Temperature profile and its changes of inner-, outer-turn layers and helium flow during the ramping
Animation video of temperature profile during 5 ramping cycles
Time history of temperature changes at three positions in the turns and of the helium flow nearby during ramping
The calculated temperature margin of the first pole turn by ANSYS is about 0.9 K if the critical temperature for this turn is 5.69 K (IHEP 2005 report). This fits the results in the IHEP 2005 report.
Temperature profile in the pole turn region and helium flow velocity when the highest temperature is reached during ramping (80 s)
Temperature differences between the coil cable and the helium are :
~ 0.3 K at the outler layer in the pole region;
~ 0.1 K at the first turn of inner layer in the pole region;
They are dominated by the temperature drop on Kapton insulation
The average helium velocity in the interlayer is about 0.01 m/s which corresponds to the mass flow rate of 0.005 g/s
purpose:• to allow as much the helium mass flow into the interlayer cooling channels as possible so as to improve the cooling performance

• The analysis shows that the Laser cutting holes technology is an effective way to improve the cooling performance but further investigation is needed on the other aspects (strength under rapid ramping, electric insulation characteristics estimation, etc.);
• Observation and measurements for the cooling holes on cable insulation shows the contribution of thermal resistance by helium space underneath the cable insulation can be neglected;
• Temperature margin check-up for the SIS 300 dipole IHEP design and optimization of the interlayer cooling channel and its connection channels have been successfully done;
• Heat transfer of 1-phase and 2-phase helium recooling process in one 300 Tm dipole has been simulated and ways to improve recooling performance has been discussed.
